See I was like, wait a minute I saw this thing before almost exac- then I saw the author comments and went, Aha! So, nice. It's a cool remake, for sure.
Only disconcerting thing is that the art style is really similar to yours in Vorago (loved that one, too), so halfway through the movie I was sorta expecting some winged hellspawns to just start flooding the place, or something. But that's more a me-thing, this was an awesome movie!

Love how the memories got switched up as the movie went on. Really good, love the style. Good memories, bad memories, your memories. Thanks for letting us take a look.

You've clearly been working hard between your submissions on your art, animation, and all that. It looks great!
Great to see your stuff again, keep it up!

Please stop making flashes based on the nightmares I had as a kid.
But still, this was really cool.

Don't stop there, I was just on the edge of my seat! Seriously!
...But this is truly beautiful. You made my heart leap a few times. Love the art, the plot, the 3D and the overall atmosphere. I am -very- glad you took your time on this.

Yeah, this would be pretty funny if put up on display in a gallery. Anim's a little choppy in places, but good stuff still.

I like how like, half the reviews are all complaining about the currency being sodomized.
...Well, I thought it was pretty funny.

I have to honestly say, that this flash is the perfect example of the following thought; that extreme close-mindedness, while bad, is at the same time no more open-minded than the extreme opposition to extreme close-mindedness, the latter of which seems to be very prominent in this flash.
Okay, so you don't like the government, I got that far. But I doubt highly that "extreme measures" are what it'll take to fix the country, because in a functioning universe, the thought of two wrongs not making a right still applies.
Not only that, but the animation, although rather fluid and complete, really irked me because despite all the attempts at uniqueness in the character design with pineapple-mushroom heads running around, I couldn't shake the overwhelming idea that I was watching something from Invader Zim. The eyes, the mouths, it was honestly reeking of that animation style, which, taking into account the nature of Invader Zim and other Jhonen Vasquez works, makes me groan in disappointment.
And all this combined with a classic protest song is compounded further into my theory that while it may not be okay to be some Yankee-doodle-apple-pie-cramming-gun-
toting-yippidee-yayhoo, it is equally not okay to be some 14-year-old-screw-the-establishment-a narchistic-ne'er-do-well who backs his watery opinions with a quote from a dictionary and Network.
So, yea. the animation (style aside) wasn't terrible, and neither was the song. Sadly, everything else was.

I'm glad you groaned. Thanks for giving me that satisfaction.
